I use outcome-based measures such as lead time, availability, adoption, and customer impact to review trade-offs with product and engineering leaders regularly. Describe your approach to leading managers across multiple engineering teams. I set clear operating expectations, establish consistent one-on-ones and performance conversations, and coach managers on prioritization, talent development, and decision-making. I also create forums for managers to align on standards, learn from incidents, and share effective team practices. What metrics would you use to evaluate platform engineering effectiveness? I would use a balanced set of delivery, reliability, developer-experience, and business metrics. Examples include deployment frequency, lead time for changes, change-failure rate, service availability, incident recovery time, internal platform adoption, and engineering engagement and retention. How would you evaluate and scale the use of AI development tooling across engineering teams? I would start with targeted use cases, establish secure usage guidelines, and measure effects on development cycle time, code quality, review burden, and developer satisfaction. Effective practices would be documented, shared through enablement sessions, and refined with appropriate human review and security controls. Tell us about a time you aligned architecture and product stakeholders around a difficult technical decision. I frame the decision around customer outcomes, risk, cost, and delivery implications, then present viable options with clear trade-offs. By creating a shared decision record and agreeing on success measures, I help stakeholders commit to a path while maintaining transparency about follow-up milestones. Opportunity details ## About this role. Reports to: Vice President, Engineering Location: Remote US Compensation: $240,000 to $300,000 base with bonus and equity What We Do: Cybercrime is growing, and more businesses are getting hit by threats that used to target only the biggest organizations.

As a result, our platform is never disconnected from the experts who manage it, ensuring our customers’ protection. Huntress now secures more than 5M endpoints and 14M identities worldwide.
